Homework #5

1) Field trip response 

Betsy Damon. Blue Hold from Femfolio. 2007, published 2009

A. It doesn't seem as if Betsy Damon is trying to pursue anything.
B. The title of this painting is "Blue hold"
C. The genre of this artwork shows that it's just a painting with no point.
D. The material of this is that it's digital print with hand coloring.
E. The scale is 13 1/8 x 13 1/8" (33.3 x 33.3 cm); sheet: 13 1/8 x 13 1/8" (33.3 x 33.3 cm)
F. The duration of the artwork is seven years. It was made in 2007
G. The different colors of the painting make it all the more interesting.
H. I thought this painting was okay. The colors I liked and how they combined together. 

2. Lecture

A. Her process of rope making is bringing together different materials. It's like bringing the lives of important people in her life together to create a story of those people.
B. The way she learned rope tying is different from action painting is that she uses her body to get the artwork done. By using her body, she's exploring it to show the power and femininity in the art. The method is appropriate because she's showing her artwork as a crime scene where her clues are there to uncover.
C. A person ignorant of Antoni's work most likely wouldn't understand "Moor". They'd probably get how the different colors were different people and events, but they wouldn't get why she wanted to bring together the different people in her life to create a story.

3. Homework

The skills that I know which is something that I love to do is cooking. Food is a big part of my culture of course as it is in other cultures. Something that I'm slowly learning more how to make is my very own Pakistani food. Whenever my mom cooks, I'm always hovering over her shoulder seeing how she makes everything. Something I've learned how to make is chicken biryani. It's basically rice with chicken. To make it you'd have to make the sauce for the chicken. It has oil, garlic and ginger paste, onions, salt, pepper, and many different Pakistani spices. While that's in the making, you have to boil the rice. Once everything is done, just add the chicken to the rice, add some yellow and orange food coloring to the rice, mix it and top with some cilantro. It's really not that hard once you learn the basics. Whenever I make this, or any type of Pakistani food I'm of course always with my mom. It's one of the many things we bond over. It's like, our time together and I cherish every bit of it. I would display this artwork in my homeland Pakistan considering that's where I'm from and where most my family is.
